Teradata

Overview

Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC), with its business address in San Diego, California, is a long-established enterprise data warehouse vendor. Its revenue was US$1.66 billion in 2025, compared with US$1.75 billion in 2024 and US$1.83 billion in 2023^[3].

Teradata now markets an Autonomous Knowledge Platform, deployed as Teradata Cloud on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, or in hybrid configurations in which data remains on premises unless explicitly configured to move^[12]. In May 2026 Teradata introduced elastic compute in Teradata Cloud, supporting both always-on workloads and elastic experimentation in one environment^[12]. The company positions the platform for enterprise workloads requiring predictable performance, reliability and cost control at scale, and for agentic AI on governed data^[12].

Teradata’s platform is aimed at large enterprises running complex, high-concurrency workloads. Its drawbacks are declining revenue, a smaller developer community than the cloud-native leaders, and the cost and effort of migrating large legacy estates.
